Last year we ran a competition to win an amazing prize - your Horrid Henry character written into a new Horrid Henry book by Francesca Simon and drawn by Tony Ross.

There were so many really good entries that Francesca found it hard to decide but, in the end, one creation stood out. It was ... drum roll... Norwegian Norris by Keir, age 8 from Belgium!

Here's how Keir described the character:

Norwegian Norris

Norris is very proud of his country. He has eyes as blue as fjords and blond hair, as spiky as a hedgehog. Norris is tall, strong and very athletic. He loves arm-wrestling and explodes like a Norse God when people annoy him.

Francesca explains:

"I liked Norwegian Norris because I have no characters like him. I also instantly saw him as the kid who says, regardless, 'It's better in Norway,' so I think Norris may have a future life beyond the next book. And it's also a plus that the first three letters alliterate."

Norwegian Norris appears in the new Horrid Henry book, Horrid Henry's Nightmare, and Keir also receives a framed print of Norwegian Norris, as drawn by Tony Ross. Well done, Keir!
